Who We Are

Founded in 1975, Outdoor Adventures by Boojum is a nonprofit organization that helps people learn more about themselves, each other, and the environment. We are an outdoor school with hiking, rock climbing, high-ropes courses, and other fun, yet challenging activities. We strive to offer a brand of education that is deeply enjoyable, personally rewarding, and unforgettable.

Who We Serve

We serve participants of all ages (kindergarten and older) who take part on a fee-for-service basis, as well as grant-supported members of community groups who lack opportunities to explore the outdoors. Our program is sustained by grants, donations, and fees for service; Outdoor Adventures by Boojum receives no public funding.

Testimonials

  • We learned how to communicate with each other, how to be friends. We can do more when we support each other.”

  • We learned how to talk to and get along with people we normally don’t talk to. We learned how to sleep out of a tent and how to take care of the ecosystem.”

  • Today I thought about my sister to help me face these challenges. She’s always been there for me and believed in me. I don’t get to see her anymore because she’s in the Army now, but I know that she would be really proud of me if she could see what I did today.
